Many companies keeping telecommuting despite Yahoo's step back

Yahoo and Best Buy's recent decisions to end their telecommuting practices are not indicative of a larger business shift away from remote work, according to analysts, who say companies plan to continue to promote flexible, offsite work arrangements. A poll by Challenger, Gray & Christmas found that while less than 10% of responding companies offer all employees the option of working from home, 80% have some remote work arrangement, and the vast majority plan to keep that benefit in place.
